Tyson halts Zilmax fed cattle purchases amid lameness concerns
Tyson Foods announced it will stop buying cattle fed Merck's Zilmax after reports of lameness, with Merck defending product safety. The move affects Tyson's supply, which accounts for about a quarter of U.S. cattle, and follows price shifts as packers weigh joining the halt. Lakin Feed Yard manager Steve Landgraf notes feeders had begun moving away from Zilmax, citing Tyson’s influence and pay incentives.

Community backs backpack drive for hundreds in need
Weber notes a larger turnout than expected among seventh and eighth graders and high school students. 4,400 of 7,200 kids qualify for free or reduced lunch. Organizers pooled resources to avoid duplication and launched the first collaborative backpack distribution, with agencies like USD 457 migrant programs and local groups contributing. Volunteers from Target and Dillons packed backpacks at Horace J. Good Middle School, with moving vans donated to transport supplies. Plans call for continued annual distributions and further donations to Salvation Army.
